Following the shooting of Charlie Kirk, the FBI has released photos of a person of interest described as "college age" as investigators are appealing to the public for tips.

“It was amateur hour,” Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department, told HuffPost on Thursday. “He was doing a running commentary. Historically, the FBI keeps its mouth closed until it believes it’s the right time and the right message.”

Authorities said they had tracked the attacker’s movements on Wednesday before and after the 31-year-old conservative commentator was shot and killed in Utah.

Three senior FBI officials, Brian Driscoll, Steve Jensen, and Spencer Evans, filed a federal lawsuit against FBI Director Kash Patel and others, claiming they were illegally fired as part of a politically motivated purge influenced by the Trump administration.
